They've Got Us Over A "Barrel"

Well, in case you haven't noticed, the oil and gasoline barons of greed are at it again. Even though it is winter, they're at it hot and heavy. Even though gasoline supplies nationally are at 14 year highs, according to an energy analyst with National City Private Client Group in Cleveland, and demand, that word one often hears from the free marketers, is flat, the futures traders have prices soaring. We may well look back at three dollars a gallon as cheap. The reasons given are more nonsense: A small refinery in Texas was closed Monday because of an explosion, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, civil unrest in Nigeria, and "rumors" that OPEC may cut production.

Someone in this nation of ours is going to have to step up to the plate and deliver a hit for the rest of us, before these greedy animals detroy us completely. There's barely a whimper from Democrats
